And I now have to work 80 hours just to pay my health insurance premium
thanks Obamacare!
I don’t get it.
You could say this about any expense, that it takes “x” number of hours worked, to afford, take your pick:
car payment
housing
groceries
cable TV bill
cell phone bill
Netflix
clothes
dining out
pay your property taxes
pay your income taxes
wide screen TV
remodel your kitchen
buy new tires
video games
literally anything can be discussed this way. But what does it really mean? Whether in San Jose or Austin, the lower income people cannot afford the most desirable places to live. Always was that way. That’s true anywhere. So what exactly is his point?
